Difference between Sodium Laureth-2 Sulphate and Sodium Laureth-1 Sulphate
Hi, i would like to ask if anyone know the difference between Sodium Laureth-2 Sulphate and Sodium Laureth-1 Sulphate. I know the difference in chemistry but what is the difference between two in formulation? any difference in efficacy, mildness or compatibility with other ingredients?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

“As we increase the moles of EO from one to two to three, how does it impact the performance of the
product? Generally speaking here is how:
- Increases solubility- Increases mildness
- Increases flash foam
- Decreases foam stability
- Decreases viscosity building
These differences are not very prominent in most cases except for viscosity building; there is a
significant difference between 2 mole and three mole. Two mole gives higher viscosity. In most
applications formulators tend to use the 2 mole product like our Calfoam® ES-302.” -
@EVchem Thanks for your explanation!
